Jasper Cillessen pulls out of Netherlands squad

Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen has been forced to withdraw from the Netherlands squad to take on France on Monday night after picking up an ankle problem in a training session.

The former Ajax stopper did not start Netherlands' 4-1 win over Belarus on Friday as Maarten Stekelenburg was handed the gloves, but was in line to feature in Monday's 2018 World Cup qualifier.

However, Cillessen has been forced to pull out of the squad after turning his ankle during training, and Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Michel Vorm has now been called into the squad by Dutch boss Danny Blind.

Netherlands, who failed to qualify for Euro 2016, currently top Group A having collected four points from their two World Cup qualification matches thus far.
